Hi All, Kind of desperate situation... I have been experiencing a master bathroom ceiling leak for a year. The water leak is coming through the electrical conduits of the bathroom ceiling lights. My light fixture (looks like an inverted bowl) will collect water and I will need to empty it every week, not to mention the conduit is probably filled with God knows what kind of water.... Spoken to the owner upstairs and he maintains that we can't proof that he is causing the leaks, the condo management says warranty is already over and hence it is really between the owner upstairs and us. They can only write a letter to the owner upstairs but that's all they can do... I asked the owner to do a "flood test" i.e. use a dye to flood the bathroom floor and see it the dye will seep through to my bathroom downstairs, he refused citing that it will inconvenience his tenants in his unit. I asked him to not use water for a day to see if the water meter will run (proving that there is a leak/crack in the embedded water pipes), he did it only for 3 hrs. Meter did not move. I like to ask for advice on the course of action.... Is there a independent body that can source out the leak? Who pays for such services/consultation? Any expert leak specialist to recommend? thanks in advance @wits end

Hi BunBun, yah tried already... but her PM is full thanks for the advice though. cheers

Sorry to pull up an old thread but I have a question for LLhome: I was just looking at your thread on your home and noticed this full height swivel tv feature and suspended console that you have, it's very innovative! http://www.renotalk.com/forum/index.php?sh...11335&st=40 Could you kindly give me some contacts where you had it done, or perhaps the kind of hardware involved, e.g. how was the TV being swivelled, is there a rod that goes through the centre, can it be purchased off the shelf? Appreciate it very much. thanks Vipe

Hi thanks for all the inputs much appreciated!

Hi I like to enquire if the prospective tenant is represented by his own agent and the landlord represents himself, then is the landlord liable to pay any form of commission to the tenant's agent (is it a law or is it a general practise). Note that the landlord is able to do all the required paperwork, stamping etc. your comments and inputs please.
